:confused:...Have you ever had something to eat at Disney and something on the plate had you guessing what the flavour was.?..o_O Let me explain further...Last year at Cali Grill,I had my first Sushi experience ( Does that sound naughty ) Anyway the salmon was marinated in this kinda vinaigrette that had me thinking and my taste buds jumping.It was ginger,awesome combination..Another one is still a mystery to me..We had a hot breakfast platter ( our only big breakfast ) at SS in Epcot,and there was a slice of bread,either toasted or pan dipped with a distinctive banana flavour..At first I thought it was a slice of this famous ( yet to try ) Tonga Toast,but it wasn't...So I'am curious if anyone else has had this " What the heck was that " moment at Disney..:hungry:

Maybe you actually had cheese and lobster, not dried out noodles like us. If you cant make a simple mac n cheese right, even prepped early where all you have to do is mix sauce, noodles, and lobster, FAIL!!!! Knock that place down and rebuild it, it is a disgrace to french cuisine, and decor.

Poutine at Le Cellier, when I had it I said what the heck is this? A little history, as a teen I played hockey and lived in Quebec where I was billeted with a great family. Madame "T" the "maman" of the family made wonderful local dishes like pork and beans and poutine which was incredible and tasted nothing like Le Cellier.

I was in France a few years ago attempting to remember and speak the French I learned in Quebec as a teen, see above. The woman I was speaking to asked "Are you from Quebec?" I was told that Quebec french hasn't evolved like Parisian french and some of the words are considered old fashion, I'm not sure if it's true just what I was told.

Went last year - it was nice, enjoyed it... Never been to a 'real' French restaurant (when I was in France, it was Cannes and we ate at mostly seafood and beachside restaurants) but I imagine that the restaurant has been Disneyfied so that it can appeal to the greatest number of people. It is just like people who know of really good, authentic Italian restaurants but in some places in the US people think that Olive Garden or Pizza Hut are 'authentic' Italian. :jawdrop:

Back on topic, never had a 'what was that' moment at Disney. Maybe I eat too safe while there, or maybe I am too adventurous at home!

Perisian french is like English from England. (Proper) They use proper words instead of the SLANG words. In quebec we are very slang. Just like english in canada or the states. We use slang words much more then the real proper words. Its not that Quebec hasnt evolved there french its we are just different.

For example Car
Franch would say AUTOMOBILE
Quebec would say CHAR

Same goes for swear words. They use proper swears quebec has created their own lol...

We were at the Brown Derby. My friends sister was with us, and she is far from food adventureous. She ordered something and it came with the sprig of garnish on it. She was sitting there staring at it, and asked "what is that on my plate". I reached over, took it off her plate, chewed it, and said "Tarragon". that became a running joke among our group of 6 during the whole trip. Even today, every so often one of us will say "Tarragon" when they eat something.
